Times have changed - back when we started DV, CDs were still relevant, and there wasn't really an easy way to organise projects, or host and share music. Now for better and worse we've got Facebook + Twitter + Soundcloud + Bandcamp which seems to do the trick for most people, so we all just seem to have gone on to do our own things.

Anyways, as agreed through a loose consensus of long time DV people on Facebook it is indeed closing down (rather than die a slow death through neglect).

Hmm, I go away for a week or so and suddenly all sorts of stuff happens…

Can't really argue with the reasons for ending it here - 10 years is a long time in any case - and things are certainly a bit different online than they were when this started out. Are there plans to keep at least part of this site up, even if it's just as some sort of archive of what was released?

No plans to take the site down - will lock it down at some point though. Also I've been paying to keep it ad free, and I'd rather use that money for other projects, so I think banner adverts will appear on the top of the site in the next few weeks. Sorry about that :(
